The gap between AI rhetoric and reality is widening by the day. While some organizations perfect the art of 'looking busy' with AI initiatives, others are methodically building the capabilities to navigate uncertainty with purpose.

Through the lens of a global manufacturer's experience, we explore how the same organization took two radically different approaches to performance improvement - one building critical capabilities and delivering 35%+ YoY EBITDA improvement, the other pursuing generic industry benchmarks and broad-stroke cost reduction. The contrast reveals why sustainable recovery demands both surgical precision and enterprise-wide perspective. Read more in our latest:

Strategy execution is where vision meets reality. For firms committed to amplifying their impact, standing still isn't an option. That's why we're excited to launch our new website today – not just as a reflection of where we are, but as a milestone in our journey of continuous evolution. In the seven years since our last digital refresh, we've fundamentally transformed how we serve and engage with our clients. Beyond helping senior leaders answer the most pressing strategic questions on their agenda, we've built the capabilities and tools to work shoulder-to-shoulder with them through every step of execution. We focus on embedding change deep within their DNA and establishing the capacity and self-sufficiency needed for them to sustain and build on that foundation as they grow. Some key developments: - Continued to support the Private Sector, delivering performance improvement at Amazon, Beam Suntory, Carlyle Group portfolio companies, and a range of leading multinational manufacturers - Expanded impact into the US Federal landscape, building multi-year partnerships with DOS, USDA, and DOT - Launched fu.sion ACCELERATOR, our proprietary software platform – now the backbone of our client engagements - Integrated cutting-edge AI/ML capabilities to accelerate value creation while maintaining rigorous ethical standards Our new website captures these advances, but more importantly, it reflects our commitment to meeting clients where they are – whether they're pursuing transformation, navigating turnarounds, or driving integration initiatives. Thank you to our team for continuously pushing boundaries and making our previous website obsolete through relentless innovation. Special thanks to Both&Yes and and Week of the Website for translating who we are into this digital experience. This new site is already a snapshot in time. We're excited to make it obsolete as we continue partnering with clients to deliver breakthrough performance improvements.
